The Department of Arts, Culture, and Tourism is a proud partner of the work stewarded by The Breed to bring forth the BWS FESTIVAL .

Months of hard work, dedication, and commitment yielded a festival experience that felt like a love letter to the city, while platforming over 400 vendors from across the country and welcoming over 10,000 attendees.

These young men, 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 and Snacks who have earned national and international recognition, continue to pour into their hometown and bring the world back home to New Haven.

Thank you to The Breed, and the BWS Festival team for delivering the kind of event that history remembers and that our community will cherish for years to come.
